I had a whole synthpop obsession from about the age of 10 through 14, so yes, they're great. Though I don't listen to them as much anymore and I have no idea what any of Almond's solo stuff sounds like. I did see a vid of him singing with Antony a few years ago and it was god-awful.

So much love for Soft Cell and Marc. The Marc and the Mambas LPs are incredible.
I love how he made a mark with that huge hit, basically got set for life and then followed a career trajectory of very commercially risky material for decades.
I saw him once and it was wonderful.
